Well, Andie has officially hit the quarter-century mark of her lifetime. That’s right, she’s now 25 years old. Happy Birthday Andie!
And because today is her birthday and she’s trying to not think of 25 as one year closer to 30, she put together a little list of 25 things she’s learned in 25 years.
Ready? Here goes:
